Edmund Gosse Libri
Edmund Gosse, poeta e critico inglese, è oggi ricordato principalmente per le sue classiche memorie, "Padre e figlio". Quest'opera fondamentale descrive meticolosamente la sua difficile infanzia all'interno di una famiglia religiosamente fanatica. Ai suoi tempi, Gosse fu un critico e saggista estremamente influente, la cui prosa perspicace e le acute osservazioni rimangono avvincenti per i lettori contemporanei. I suoi scritti offrono profonde esplorazioni di complesse relazioni familiari e dell'impatto duraturo dell'educazione sull'identità individuale.






Hedda Gabler

Accolta gelidamente alla prima assoluta di Monaco (1891), poco amata in Scandinavia per la sua estraneità culturale e di costume, in Italia Hedda Gabler , pur non divenendo mai popolare, fu comunque assunta tra i cavalli di battaglia delle primedonne, a cominciare dalla Duse, né mancò di turbare la critica contemporanea: «simbolica e realista», «pallida elegante, fredda», disse Giovanni Pozza; e Scipio Slataper, nella sua tesi di laurea su Ibsen , parlò di «isterica passione», di «qualche cosa che ci fa star zitti e meravigliati». Nel riproporre questa figura di donna gelida e asessuata, amante della vita come eroina dell'estetismo, Franco Quadri ne percorre e analizza, nella sua nota introduttiva, la vicenda ormai secolare sulle scene italiane.
